Khajuraho's Magic Square and Hypercube Symmetries - General Seminar

Explore the fascinating world of magic squares in this 45-minute lecture by Andrés Navas from Universidad de Santiago de Chile. Delve into the intriguing Khajuraho's Magic Square, engraved in a temple in the sacred Indian city. Discover why this remarkable panmagic square's symmetry group is isomorphic to the 384 rigid movements of a hypercube. Revisit Pandita's theorem on counting panmagic squares of order 4 and examine the mathematical connections between symmetry groups and magic structures. This general audience seminar, part of the IMSAC Consortium Distinguished Lecture Series at the University of Miami, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of ancient mysticism and modern mathematics.
